How to apartment hunt when u don’t live in the city?
Everyone is now insisting on in person tours. I prefer it that way too. I just got back from the city viewed a bunch of apts. I want to see more but I’m not around. Any hacks here that people have figured out over time?
I don’t have friends that can view it for me either.

StreetEasy is the best you can do from out of town.

You can also pay a Task Rabbit to go and take a video for you, but it might just be best to suck it up and visit for a couple days.

I couch surfed for a couple of days and found a place quickly.

Flip side though is I cannot imagine finding a place, given what I experienced, without being physically present.

There's no hacks to actually do the hard work of finding something in the city.

I went with Perchpeek and they have helped me with a shortlist of apartments so i can either see video tours or schedule viewings at a certain date (or date range) so it will require just one trip

They have different bundles depending on what you want from 249 to 549

Usually large Luxury apartment buildings have a rental office and they can send you videos (I like no fee Luxury blds).

Or You hire a broker to do the work on your behalf , view apt and send you video. Their fee is 1 month rent
